El Adobe Mexican Restaurant

I have to agree with Mike H, in his review, in that all the proteins seemed to be under seasoned. The ground beef taco meat tasted like it had been boiled without seasoning, and the only thing that saved it was dumping on the table salsa, adding the sour cream, and buying a side of ranch dressing to dose it up. My wife's frajita meat was also underseasoned and adding salt and pepper improved it, but just didn't make the mark. I am pretty sure we'll pass this one up next time we travel by their location.

Tina is a rock star! A group of about 25 of us (half kids) came in unannounced and they did not blink an eye. Just cheerfully served us. Tina served us all...even did separate checks. She kept water/tea glasses full and attended to our kids who were sitting at other tables, but kept track so that each kid went on their respective parent's bill.
We were a weary traveled, starving bunch, so don't know how objective we were, but the food was enjoyed, and my spinach quesadilla was good.

Okay, I'm probably being about one star kind, but my traveling business partner was pleased with his lunch choice. When it's noon, you're passing through Atoka (where the dining selections are limited to say the least), you're facing a major tropical storm with buckets of rain, this appeared to be the best place to pull into for lunch. It appears to be a local stop as well since there were plenty in the restaurant. I ordered the taco salad which was fair at best. The ground meat that was dumped on top of wilted lettuce was bland and just that, ground meat. Come on, at least throw an Old El Paso seasoning packet into the ground meat while cooking. The salad didn't come with any peppers (had to request) and no salsa.  You did get your choice of either sour cream or guac.  I'm not sure I have seen a taco salad served without salsa. Guess they assumed I would use the table salsa (which was the tasty portion of lunch). Ice tea was made with water from the bottom of the lake!  I now know what a catfish experiences. Come on, use filtered tap water at least!  Well at least the chips and salsa were good. Not sure I'd stop here again on my many trips to/from Texas.
